Daddy Rich: i feel you homie...thing is though there really aint any dope new bay rappers, that aint the stations fault....And they do bump frontline alot which is a new bay group , also they got a contest going right now for any new artists from the bay to get free studio time and have ea-ski and e-40 produce it, so all someone has to do is step to the plate. Balance also gets some play here and there.
I dunno bout 94.9 i dont listen too much but kmel is doing more than their part, its the artists that arent steppin up and makin dope radio music.
I mean KMEL keeps givin out all these free handouts to new bay artists, like free style battles, trips to mtv to preform, free studio time and beats. What more can you ask for.
Also how many artists do you want up on the radio, with the exception of maybe new york most areas only have one or two rappers reppin their area. We got 4 or 5 thats better than most places.
oh yeah mr. kee's group FE was gettin play too when the single lime light came out..........also baby bash is gettin play, so thats what like 7 bay artists in the rotation, what more do you want.
You got the followin artists gettin play on kmel:
Yukmouth
Frontline
Ea-Ski
E-40
B-Legit
Keak Da Sneak
Mr Kee
Balance
i mean damn i dont know of any other area who has that many artists on the radio reppin them, cept maybe for new york but thats just cause new york is where all the labels are so its easier to find talent out there.
